Description

A recipe for soft and chewy oatmeal cookies made with all of the classic ingredients: oats, cinnamon and brown sugar, along with one not-so-classic ingredient—olive oil.

Ingredients

6 TablespoonsAll-purpose Flour

6 TablespoonsOld Fashioned Oats

3 TablespoonsBrown Sugar, Packed

1 TablespoonGranulated Sugar

¼ teaspoonsGround Cinnamon

¼ teaspoonsSea Salt

¼ teaspoonsBaking Soda

2 TablespoonsBeaten Egg

½ teaspoonsVanilla Extract

2 TablespoonsOlive Oil (I Used Light Tasting)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat liner.

In a small bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking soda and mix until combined. Add the egg and vanilla and mix to combine. Pour in the olive oil and mix until combined.

Scoop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes until the cookies are just lightly browned on the edges. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet. Transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes:
For added texture and flavor, add in some cinnamon chips, butterscotch chips, raisins or walnuts before baking (about 2 tablespoons of any add-in you’d like).
